ACTIVITY 3 Hinge Theorem Its Converse

This document discusses the hinge theorem and its converse in geometry. It provides the definitions of the hinge theorem and its converse, along with some example problems applying these concepts. It relates the lengths of sides and measures of angles in different triangles based on whether sides are congruent or angles are greater.

Given that
1. Study the faces of the clock shown and BD ≅ BD by reflexive Property
at different hours. > ∠ABD
but ∠CBD
2. Does the length of the minute hand then CD > AD
B. Given the diagram below, what can be concluded regarding mU and mE?
change?
3. Does the length of the hour hand change?
4. Does the distance of the tips of the hour hand and minute hand change? In ∆ BUG and ∆ PET
5. What affects the measure of the distance between the tips of the hands of Given thatBU ≅ PE

then m∠U > m∠E
Hinge Theorem
Refer on the triangles below write the correct inequality symbol. (<, > ,= ).
If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, but the
included angle of the first triangle is greater than
the included angle of the second, then the third side of the first triangle is longer
than the third side of the second.

In ∆ FOU and
∆ TRI >
1.) KS¿ OY < ∠Z
2.) ∠C ________ >
3) CM ¿ LA
If FO ≅ TR
and OU ≅ RI
I. EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING:
but ∠O > ∠R Use >, =, or < to complete the statement below.
Converse of Hinge Theorem
If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, but the
third side of the first triangle is longer than the third side of the second, then the
included angle of the first triangle is larger than the included angle of the
second.

In ∆ FOU and
.
∆ TRI
If FO ≅ TR
and OU ≅ RI
but FU > TI

NOTE: The key fact in applying the Hinge theorem and its converse is that the
two sides forming the angle will be of the same length in both triangles.
